Rule Language:

An operator must conduct a risk assessment that follows ASME/ANSI B31.8S, section 5, and considers the identified threats for each covered segment. An operator must use the risk assessment to prioritize the covered segments for the baseline and continual reassessments (§§192.919,192.921, 192.937), and to determine what additional preventive and mitigative measures are needed (§192.935) for the covered segment.
